Answer:

\frac{48-c}{48-C}

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The total weight of a container and its content is 48 pounds.

However, we don't know the exact weight of the content.

Let's call C the weight of the container and c the weight of the content.

C+c=48, which represents the total weight.

Now, the ratio between the container and the content would be

\frac{48-c}{48-C}

Remember that the ratio is a fraction of similar magnitudes, in this case the magnitude is weight.

Also, we use a difference, because the weight of the container is the difference between the total weight and the weight of the content, and viceversa.

Therefore, the ratio is \frac{48-c}{48-C}

It would be 1/1 because it’s the contents that provide the weight. Not the container it’s self.
If you think about the butter in the plastic tub. The butter makes up all the weight.

A company makes a $5 profit on each non-faulty product it sells. Approximately 2% of the products manufactured are faulty.
galben [10]

Step-by-step answer:

The steps are much easier to follow when we know how many product it sells.  The number does not really matter, because we need the profit per item.

Say, the company made and sold 100 items of the product.

The revenue = 100*5 = $500.

On the average, 2 out of 100 are defective and need to be replaced at a cost of $100 each, so

replacement cost = 2* 100 = 200

So net profit for 100 items = $500 -$200 = $300

Net profit for each item = $300/100 = $3.00

Remark: since the product is replaced, no refund is necessary, so revenue stays at $300.

Approximately what percentage of apple diameters is greater than the 66th percentile? 21. A. 3.4% B. 17% C. 66% D. 34%
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The correct option is D) 34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If it is given that you scored in the 66th percentile, that means you scored "as well as or better than" 66% of the group.

Here it is given that 66th percentile that means 66% of the data located below the 66th percentile.

That means 100%-66% = 34% of the data located above the 66th percentile,

Thus, the approximately 34% percentage of apple diameters is greater than the 66th percentile.

Therefore, the correct option is D) 34%.
